What is It Like To Be Summoned As a Giant?

A total of 30,000 troops set out for the Northern Expedition from Chaoge City. This number may not seem like a lot, but it is the real elite of the Shang Dynasty. In Taishi Wen's view, except for the trouble in Beihai, it can be considered stable after all. If the elite are drawn out, the problem will not be too big.

The four major princes and eight hundred guards are coming to pay homage to Chao Ge. With these people in charge, the world will naturally be stable.

It was such a wonderful thought, but Master Wen never expected that he would have to fight this battle for more than ten years. But just three hundred miles out of Chaoge, a big problem arose during the march.

"Grand Master, the vanguard army reported that there is a large swamp ahead."

This is the news that Master Wen just heard from the messenger. He was also very surprised. Where is the swamp on the route from Chaoge to Beihai?

The swamp has rich vegetation, sufficient water, and mostly warm and humid temperatures. It's bitterly cold in the north, and it's the middle of winter now. Where can this swamp come from?

Do you think there was an error in the order, or something unusual happened on the road ahead? There are also many capable people and strangers among the princes of Beihai. Perhaps it is their fault.

Wen Taishi left the camp, mounted Mo Qilin, and flew to where the vanguard army was. There was indeed a swamp in front of us, spreading for who knows how many miles. It was impossible for tens of thousands of people to march.

This swamp was not an illusion, it couldn't be more real. Master Wen also caught two giant crocodiles from the water. Obviously, there are many dangers in this swamp.

Master Wen felt a little embarrassed. If he forced his way forward, he would probably suffer heavy casualties. However, there were no woods nearby, and it would be difficult to cut down wood to make a boat. It would take a lot of time to look back for wood.

This was probably one of the reasons why Master Wen's Northern Expedition took too long. Master Wen himself could fly on Mo Qilin, but his soldiers could not. However, Master Wen, who prioritized safety in his military use, was unwilling to rush deep into the swamp, so it was delayed for a long time.

But this time it was different. Master Wen slapped Mo Qilin on the head and flew towards the military camp.

Arriving at a camp that seemed a bit out of place outside the military camp, Master Wen saw a group of soldiers training enthusiastically, but the training method was so weird that even Master Wen, a veteran in the army, was completely confused.

These are the "Tao soldiers" under his uncle's command. He asked Grand Master Wen to organize a formation, which can be regarded as forming his own bodyguard. It's just that in Grand Master Wen's view, these so-called Tao soldiers are a bit thin.

Nowadays, the world is full of spiritual energy. Even if there are not famous mountains and rivers, there are still fierce men in the human race who can tear tigers and leopards alive. And these elites of the Shang Dynasty brought out by Grand Master Wen are all first-class warriors, among ordinary people. That's ten thousand enemies.

These warriors who were selected from thousands of soldiers were trained in the secret military training skills of Master Wen, supplemented by elixirs, talismans, water, etc. They were easily two meters tall and could carry hundreds of kilograms of armor up the mountain and into the sea.

In comparison, the soldiers around Tang Lin were a bit thin. None of them wore heavy armor, only floral green clothes. It looks quite light, but I don't think it has much protective power. If you hammer it down, it will turn into meat paste.

What's even weirder is that these people seem to have magic power, but they don't practice magic or magic weapons. They carry dark things on their backs all day long. The sticks don't look like sticks, and the axes don't look like axes. It's hard to tell. What is it.

When Master Wen arrived at the military camp, Tang Lin was immediately notified, and Tang Lin got off a huge armored vehicle to greet Master Wen. There are fifty of these huge metal machines in the camp, which can fit all the thousands of people inside. It seems to have been built recently. This is the first time that Master Wen has seen this kind of mechanical creation today.

"The grand master is here because the war situation has changed?" Tang Lin asked.

It was already wartime. Wen Taishi was the commander-in-chief, and Tang Lin had to be worthy of Taishi to ensure that the orders and prohibitions in the army were carried out. The relationship between master uncle and master nephew is only a personal relationship, and personal relationships cannot take precedence over official duties.

"Commander Lihuo, there is indeed something unexpected, so I came here to discuss it with you." Master Wen also said politely.

Then Wen Taishi told Tang Lin about the large swamp that was hundreds of miles away. Tang Lin was also confused, secretly sensing the earth, and indeed found something wrong. The swamp ahead was not just a simple change in the natural environment. There were mazes all over it. It was clear that someone had set up a huge magic circle waiting for them to enter.

Tang Lin's Earth Escape Technique was unfavorable to nature, but the magic circle could only control the changes in the five elements, and it was impossible for Tang Lin to lead tens of thousands of people across this swamp.

What's even more cruel is that the location of this swamp is stuck on the only way to the Northern Expedition. According to Taishi Wen's speculation, the rebels might have hid in this swamp, so they had no choice but to break through.

"Commander Lihuo, most of the 30,000 elites I lead are heavily armored warriors. They are invincible on the battlefield, but in this environment, there are many constraints. To cross the swamp, we need to build a large number of small boats to cross the water, but the recent number is... Eighty miles later. So I would like to ask Commander Lihuo to take action. Your flying escape technique should save the soldiers the pain of traveling dozens of miles."

What Taishi Wen meant was to ask Tang Lin to help cut down trees and build boats, and then 30,000 people would resist and break into the swamp.

This was business, and Tang Lin had no reason to refuse, but he felt that this was the wrong approach.

It's not that he calculated anything again, but it was a prompt from the system.

After the thousand-man army was sealed by Master Wen and became the official establishment of the Shang Dynasty, Tang Lin's first mission was officially completed.

[The first stage mission: Join the Shang Dynasty’s Northern Expedition and obtain the command of at least a thousand soldiers. 】

[The mission is completed and you will receive a reward of 10,000 Willpower. 】

The reward for the first round of the mission was 10,000 yuan. This number made Tang Lin happy, but he also felt a little scared. He had confronted two golden immortals of the Chan Cult. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have died several times.

The second ring of tasks was also activated.

[The second stage of the task: The master of the Ji is shaking off, and the moon is gone, looking for the remnant soul of the ancient god. 】

Tang Lin searched for a long time before finally understanding the meaning of the first two sentences.

Ji Zhu's winnowing refers to Feng Bo. In "Customs and Customs", it is said that "Wind Master Ji Xing is also Ji Xing. Ji Zhu's winnowing can bring about wind, so it is called Ji Bo."

Yueli Yubi comes from the "Li" of Zhou. The chapter "Dazong Bo" of "Zhou Li" says, "Use burnt fire to worship Sizhong, Siming, Fengshi and Yushi". Zheng Xuan's note: "The Master of Rain is Bi Ye", which means "The moon is away from Bi, and the water is pouring. This is the Master of Rain".

The second round of tasks involves Feng Boyu Master, and the name has a lot of background. And the temperate swamps formed in this bitter cold land, because someone must have changed the weather. Thinking back to the legends of the two ancient gods Feng Boyu and Master Feng, it seems reasonable to change the weather.

Tang Lin speculated that the princes of the North Sea had found the remnant soul of Master Feng Boyu and used the power of the two ancient gods to transform this confusing formation.

If this is the case, if Master Wen sails in like this, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Tang Lin understood that it was time for him to take action this time, just to test whether the modern mechanized troops could adapt to this ancient battlefield.
